The series, that marks our nation’s debut in the championship, celebrates its second year in Asia and inheriting the different tracks this year will be the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Super Trofeo 2013.

An exciting Amer said, “I am thankful to Lamborghini India for this opportunity and it is a privilege to be a part of the fastest one-make series in the world.

It’s the result of Lamborghini India’s efforts that will see our nation being represented for the first time on the Super Trofeo Asia grid, which already includes drivers from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea.
